🍪 Oat Crisps
Oat crisps are thin, crunchy cookies or snack bars made primarily from oats. They are popular as a healthy snack because oats provide fiber, whole grains, and slow-digesting energy. They can be sweetened lightly with honey, sugar, or dried fruit, and sometimes include nuts or chocolate.
🥘 Typical Ingredients
- Rolled oats or quick oats
- Flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)
- Butter or oil
- Sweetener (sugar, honey, or maple syrup)
- Optional add-ins:
- Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries)
- Nuts (almonds, walnuts)
- Chocolate chips or cocoa nibs
- Baking powder or baking soda
- Salt
